who is the centermost centrist from your pov? left and right means nothing without reference points. It’s like saying cold and hot instead of using specific temperatures like boiling point and freezing point.

And this is without saying that left-right is a 1D projection of a sum of positions in many dimensions.

But isn’t most of that client-side processing? Can’t I request a vanilla generic page and once it is in my browser to process it to shape it into the window size and extensions I want? Even if it is an adblocker: serve me the ad, I’ll block it internally. But I suppose that for dynamic pages with js requests this would become hard to do.

It is starting to become a risk to go out to do anything without taking ID these days. A Kafkian nightmare…might as well staple it to your ear, like cattle :/

But why unusable, why does a browser have to leak language, window size, time, extensions? Can’t those be spoofed?

Like Maduro?

I have no idea, looking at putin’s slow-fascism, it would be fake elections, but trump doesnt have the patience for slow-fascism, they’ll just suspend the midterms for starters if nobody stops them.

Next term? Conservative? People still haven’t realized that the last election was between constitutionalists (yes, e.g. Liz Cheney is a constitutionalist, at least inside the US) and fascists. The fascists won.

…too late for that now…people were warned, there is no going back, the only way out of this is through and if you’re lucky you’ll have another leader who cares enough about that to make a difference.

Ok, he is stupid, but he has figured some things out and perfected ways to move in the world through trial and error with money and time.

“papers, please”

I don’t think tramp knows much about anything at all, he just plays his role, but the blueprint they are “plagiarizing” from history books must be Stephen Miller’s or Bannon’s or some Heritage Foundation subgroup. But he may be vaguely aware of the power he could have if he ignores all rules (what a genius) and everyone is too afraid to stop him.

I think it’s the music that’s giving nostalgic feelings about this…but it is true that in the 1900 decade there was a lot of promise and no time to misuse it yet.

Besides all tech progress was visible as something concrete, unlike since the 70s due to miniaturization of microchips and the transfer to software.

yeah, about that…https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_attempts_on_Adolf_Hitler I count 24 (the last being Stauffenberg in 1944)

Did he mean “from other tribes” as in from elsewhere in the world, far enough that their culture is not as concerned with family names as theirs?

Dude’s backed by trump, Erdogan and Saudis, did you expect him to be liberal?

Oh, and by the way,

It’s happening too quickly, actually, these bozos do not have the patience nor the discipline, they are following the dictator playbook quite closely, but even putin took decades. If they keep pressing this hard, they are not going to get their fascist takeover, they are going to get a civil war, which is probably more useful to China and russia and will probably drag them and allies in.
